Join Yvette Atienza and her trio of Singaporean veteran jazz musicians—Mei Sheum on piano, Christy Smith on bass and Darryl Ervin on drums. Together, they bring you tunes from Johnny Mercer, the most prolific lyricist from the Great American Songbook era who’s penned about 1,500 songs for jazz, musicals and films. He is the only one to win numerous Oscar and Grammy awards for his tunes Days of Wine and Roses and Moon River, among many other beautiful jazz evergreens!
No tickets will be issued. Seats are available on a first-come, first-served basis.

Singaporean veteran singer and fierce keeper-of-the-jazz-flame, Yvette Atienza is an astonishingly versatile singer, with jazz and Latin jazz as her strongest suits, as both provide a channel for her penchant for improvisation and strong rhythms. With a career spanning 37 years, she led the way for vocal improvisation, vocalese and Latin jazz in Singapore, and has also taught and mentored many of Singapore’s young, up-and-coming singers. On this upcoming performance, Atienza said “It is my honour and pleasure to pay homage and honour Johnny Mercer and his magic, because I have been enjoying singing so many of his songs since I began my career in jazz.”
